FIA announce DOUBLE punishment verdict for Williams F1 star in Baku

The FIA have announced the stewards verdict over a double dose of punishment for a Williams F1 star at last weekend's Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

James Vowles' F1 team further secured their spot as the best of the rest in the team standings in Baku thanks to a points haul from Carlos Sainz, who brought home Williams' first podium since 2017 on Sunday.

But his team-mate Alex Albon could do no better than finishing 13th at the 17th round of the championship, failing to add any more points to his own tally in the drivers' standings.

The 29-year-old also picked up a 10-second time penalty during the race for causing a collision with Franco Colapinto, and now, the FIA have confirmed a second punishment for the incident.

The verdict from F1's governing body read: “Entering Turn 5 Car 23 attempted to overtake Car 43 on the inside however did not have his front axle level with the mirror of Car 43, Car 43 was in control and taking the normal racing line, therefore Car 23 did not have the right to the corner and accordingly was wholly responsible for the collision."

As a result, Albon has now also been slapped with two further penalty points, taking his total for the past 12 months to four.

Here's how the penalty points table looks for 2025 after the latest incident at the Azerbaijan GP last weekend.
